Bring on the Seahawks

[UK Cowboy]

Seattle has a heck of a team and they have been hot lately, but the Cowboys are putting it all together. I think the Cowboys win it 27-20

Best of luck to both teams. Hope for an injury free game from both teams.

The Problem I see with that. Is Wilson. To win by one score or less usually would mean we are up by 2 scores late. The problem with that is every single time we are up by 2 scores the defense stops defending. So the only way I see heroics is if Dak does the late game drive for the win. Is Dak ready for Seattles defense in the 4th will be the question.

Fair point, but I'm looking at the week 3 game we lost 24-13 in Seattle. Player of the day was Earl Thomas with 2 picks, we don't have to worry about him. On the flip side, the Cowboys didn't have Amari Cooper. This was a 3-5 team without him, 7-1 with him. The Cowboys are coming off what turned out to be a momentum building win in NY, with Dak playing his best game of the season. Zeke, Martin, and TSmith should be ready to go, Lee and Austin are back, Gallup, Beasley and now Jarwin are playing well. And it's in Dallas. The Seahawks are a great team, but I think they are going to see a similar Dallas team to the one that beat N.O.

Normally I would say that our advantage is that it's a road game for Seattle, rather than it's a home game for us.
Our record at home has not been that great. (except for 2016)

But we are 7-1 at home with Seattle 4-3 on the road.

I think we match up fairly well with Seattle. I like the first round match-up.

Cowboy fans over the last 10 years or so have come to hope for the best, but somewhat expect the worst at the most inopportune time of the game... maybe this team is different and you can bet the game officials will have a say

Seattle is dangerous. I thought that Seattle was done when the legion of boom was dismantled. The Seahawks have one of the best head coaches. This is a different cowboys team this time around. Lots of things changed with the cowboys since week 3. Cowboys have a decent chance to win and I would not mind seeing a few refs leave the field groin pulls

 

[Manster7588]

I feel good about our chances. Now of course this season that has come back to bite us.

 

[cowboycolors]

Ok everybody is 0-0 now
Time for a little luck some shrewd gameplanning and hopefully a deeep playoff run
Go Cowboys

FYI there are great seats available for this game that were just released yesterday through Dallas Cowboys | Official Site of the Dallas Cowboys . Last minute Flights are crazy expensive for me and also have some things I have to do this weekend so I really couldn't swing it. But, if you are looking to go and willing to pay for suite section seats there are incredible seats available. Cost you about $600 per with fees. Well worth it IMO

I feel both teams are fairly similar. Two top 10 rushing offenses, both teams have allowed a ton of sacks, some inconsistent QB play from both sides, etc.

Dallas sports a top 10 D but Seattle is surprisingly 16th this year and without KJ Wright for most of the season who returned last weekend.

Should be a great game. Going to give Dallas the win with the homefield advantage but I think Seattle keeps it close. 20-16, Sebastian Janikowski should be good for an extra point miss around the 4th quarter...

All said, I like Dallas' odds. Defense wins Championships and Dallas is sporting a top 10 this year. They need to ride out Elliott though, I don't trust Dak.

Fully agree with the teams being even and the Dallas D. While I do like Dallas, Wilson is the wildcard. He can make a lot of plays out of nothing. For Dallas to win they have to keep that man honest.

Wilson is dangerous. The big concern I got is stopping the seahawk running game. We cant have a repeat of what happened against the colts and expect to win.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Hope Gregory and Lawrence can keep getting to Wilson and that our linebackers can contain him and the run game.

Hopefully resting Smith, Martin and Zeke pays off. If they're ready to go smash mouth I think they can push the Seahawks defense around.

 

[PolarVortex]

Only prediction I'm willing to make is that it will be the fastest played game of the weekend. With Seattle being first in rushing attempts and Dallas being 10th, it safe to say that we'll see 60+ rushing attempts in this game, and that makes for a fast game.

Y’all should be excited. Seattle looked bad and almost lost to the worst team in the NFL Sunday. I know this sucks but you should probably root for Philly. I’d waaaaay rather play the Rams then Brees in a dome.

Come on @jarntt @cowboycolors say it for me for New Years “Go Philly”

That would just mean postponing the Saints a week.

Yep but it would get you deeper into the playoffs and make life more exciting plus this is a young team and the more playoff experience you get the better long term. Pound Zeke 30 times. Seattle looked atrocious last week but you know how football is.

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Going into this game makes me think of those last two playoff games against Green Bay. I will never forget or forgive the atrocious and one sided officiating which helped Greenbay beat the cowboys in those two games. Still waiting for make up calls!!!!
